Notes on Building RAID System

Note the following points when building a RAID System.

•

The number of hard disk drives required varies in each RAID level.

•

If the optional RAID Controller (N8103-172) is used, the RAID System of RAID5 or RAID6 cannot be built.

RAID level

The minimum number of hard disk drives

required to build a RAID System

N8103-172

N8103-173/174/168

RAID 0

RAID 1

RAID 5

RAID 6

RAID 10

•

In the RAID System, all the hard disk drives (SAS/SATA) or SSD must have the same capacity, interface

type, and rotational speed.

•

Use RAID System Configuration utility (WebBIOS) to build a RAID System. For more information, refer to

the manual supplied with the optional RAID Controller (N8103-172/173/174/168).

Important

•

Do not change the mode to hibernate while building a RAID System.

•

Build a Disk Array in the RAID System using hard disk drives that have the same

specifications (capacity, rotational speed, and standard).
